Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 205



Chapter 205

Episode 205 Instant (1)

A great battle located deep inside Noark Fortress.

A man was talking to someone through a crystal ball.

“Amelia Lane Wales. Did you find the explorer?”

[Not yet. Seonglord.]

“I see……”

The first regular report received after the city blockade.

There was no way there would be any results already, but Seongju fell into silence without even realizing it.

However, the sad news came to him again.

[I have one more thing to tell you.]

“Something? Tell me.”

[It is said that from this month, specially made dog tags will be distributed to explorers.]

“……Is it a magic tool?”

[Yes.]

“Tell me in detail. If it were you, you would have found out more on your own.”

Later, Seongju heard information about the ‘dog tag’ that the royal family plans to distribute through Amelia.

The more I listened, the darker it became.

A dog tag designed by the royal family wizard himself.

“It’s going to take us months to come up with something similar.”

[Yes, I think so too.]

“Thanks for the news. You guys, don’t worry about this side and focus on your mission. See you next month.”

After that, Seongju closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

And how long has it been?

“Oh come.”

Seongju, who called the treasurer, first checked Noark’s financial situation.

No, that’s exactly what I asked.

“Treasurer, how long can we last without entering the Labyrinth?”

“Three months, if we continue like now.”

The situation was not good in the aftermath of the last battle.

But not once have we been ahead of them.

So, this is familiar.

It’s what the ancestors did.

“If you starve and starve? Then how long can you last?”

“……It will be about twice that.”

“Right.”

Sungjoo nodded briefly.

And this time, he called an aide and gave instructions.

“Until my order is given, seal the labyrinth and don’t let anyone enter.”

“……The backlash will be severe. How long will we know?”

Seongju replied firmly.

“At least until I can make it according to the dog tag made by the royal family.”

If you go in before then, you will surely be doomed to death.

So…

“Hold on, hold on, until they caught their guard.”

You just have to wait and be patient.

Then you will definitely come.

One chance to change everything.

***

“The labyrinth has been closed.”

“The character moves to Lapdonia.”

***

Light slowly creeps over the closed eyelids.

When I slowly opened my eyes, the clear sky filled my eyes for the first time in a long time.

The warm city air wraps deep in your lungs with every breath you take.

I can feel the flow of time all over my body.

‘Is it already June……’

Six months have already passed since the day he was exiled to Bifron.

Winter, which seemed like a joke compared to Korea, has already come to an end, and now even the short spring is coming to an end.

‘that’s interesting.’

It was March when I came to this world.

It’s really been over a year since I came here.

It was the same when I paid my taxes for the first year, but I still feel strange.

To be honest, now my life on Earth is getting blurry.

That’s natural.

If you add the time spent in the labyrinth, the time spent here would amount to almost two years.

“Hey, are you going back to your inn right away?”

“For now. Let’s have a drink after washing up.”

“I’m back aaaaa!!”

I checked my surroundings as usual, and I let go of my brief thoughts.

‘No big deal this time either.’

I wondered what the other stairs would be like, but looking at the reactions around me, it seems that there were no special incidents.

It just makes me anxious.

Shaaaaaaa.

I looked down and checked my wrists.

It hadn’t been long since I came out of the city, but already the dog tags tattooed on my wrists were scattered like light.

It takes a lot of effort to get a new one every time you enter it, but its performance is different from the old dog tags that were just taken away.

Coincidentally, from the time this came out, the undercity bastards couldn’t see it even after washing their eyes.

‘……I thought it was about time to appear.’

Earth and this place are distinctly different ecosystems.

A world with no flowing rivers and no fertile land for farming.

In order for both Noark and Lapdonia to survive, they must create food with magic stones from the labyrinth.

‘But it’s already been 6 months and there’s no news…’

I heard from the fox at the round table last month that large clans formed an alliance in preparation for Noark’s surprise attack, so I feel more anxious for no reason.

Where have they all been hiding?

It’s not like there was a way to supply food other than magic stones.

“Mr. Yandel! Why are you so late!”

As I was walking, organizing my thoughts as if I were taking a walk, Raven waved at me from afar.

Even Mr. Bear, who was always late, was there first.

“I have something to think about.”

“Hmm, you could have done that while standing in line here…”

Jeop efficiency only.

Anyway, I was late, so I apologized and stood in line.

It only took a few minutes for the line to run out.

Yeah, this is a level 5 checkpoint.

“Are you sure you’re Team 5 Apple Narak?”

This is one of many changes in the past six months. I, Einar, and Mischa were promoted to 5th grade, and the team grade went up one notch.

It was a little cumbersome because I had to complete the guild quest to become a 5th grader, but…… We

all completed the quest together three months ago.

If the rating is low, you have no choice but to be looked down on, and if you look down, more troublesome things happen in this industry.

“Wow, they gave me candy here too. Did you know Bjorn?”

“I didn’t know.”

I put the candy Misha opened and handed me to me and sucked on it.

“Moon.”

Lapdonia, a city that is infinitely heartless towards the weak.

Gradually, I began to feel that I was being treated well wherever I went.

“Then, will you pay the bill tomorrow?”

“What are you asking for the obvious?”

“Ohhh! Then let’s go! Home!!!”

After simply exchanging magic stones, he went out to the city.

Jeongsan has a bathing facility for convenience from the 5th level checkpoint, but this time, too, he did not use it.

Why don’t you go home and wash up?

“Then see you there tomorrow. Honey, I’m here!”

We dispersed in front of Mr. Bear’s pub, Bang Bang-gyeom, a lost child, and headed straight home.

A 4-story building located inside District 7, only 10 minutes away from the commercial city of Commelby.

We use the 1st and 2nd floors, and the 3rd and 4th floors are occupied by another couple of explorers.

The entrance is different, so it’s rare to run into each other.

“Ah, it’s home!”

Unlike the previous accommodation, which was a single room, this new house is superior in every aspect.

In fact, it’s only been two months since we moved in.

It was a property that I really liked, but the reason was that the person who lived there before said he was going out at that time.

Oh, of course, I came in as a monthly rent.

The price of the sale is crazy.

“It takes a long time for us to wash up, so if you’re hungry, eat first!”

Einar and Misha went into the bathroom on the first floor with a bathtub, and I washed myself in the small bathroom on the second floor.

Although it was small, it was a much better environment than the previous accommodation.

While painting my body with soap, I laughed.

‘Maybe this is a change if it is a change.’

Spacious house with kitchen.

Soap sold in workshops, not mass-produced soap.

Even the expensive bed that I bought with a big heart.

Not saving even a single penny to return home, he began to improve the quality of life here.

However, I don’t want to consider this an inefficient action.

How many years will it take here?

No, I don’t even know if it’s possible to go back to the yard where even the Noble Phantasm disappeared.

‘In the first place… I don’t even know if I have to go back.’

I came out of the bathroom wiping my hair dry with a towel as if shaking off my weak will.

Chwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Looks like it’s still washing underneath.

Although I was hungry, I just sat on the sofa and dozed off for a while because the food Misha cooked for me was much better.

How long has it been since then?

“You woke up just fine. Come and eat.”

I looked toward the kitchen at the appetizing smell, and there was a table of food set on the table. Since there are two barbarians, most of the table is made of meat.

While eating, we had casual conversations.

“Oh right. Are you leaving the equipment today?”

“That’s how it should be. You have to take good care of it to use it for a long time. Eat it all later and collect it for me. I’ll go alone.”

“Yeah. But the forge is Hikurodone again this time?”

“Shouldn’t we use it often? It doesn’t require any special skills to check arms.”

As time passed, the dwarf also opened a forge.

It’s been about three months now, and it seems that it can’t avoid the loss, perhaps because it’s a business where regular customers are the basics.

Well, it does seem to be getting better.

“But, speaking of Hikuro… If the store goes out of business, will he come back to explore?”

“That… don’t say it in front of him.”

“Am I crazy? I’m a person with thoughts too.

“Huh, Missha, what are you so worried about? If it fails, can’t we use it as our butler!”

“butler……?”

“Isn’t Hikurod fun!”

What does he think of the butler?

I don’t know, but taking what a barbarian said seriously would be foolish.

We giggled for a while as we talked nonsensically, saying that it would be fun.

“Then I will go to the smithy, so go to sleep first.”

“Shall we go with you?”

“It’s okay. I’m going to do something great.”

The kids first took a nap, then packed up the equipment and headed to the dwarf blacksmith’s shop. And after checking and repairing it, I came back and lay down on the bed.

An extra-large bed that was purchased for a whopping 350,000 stone.

‘Yes, this is it.’

Satisfied with the unchanging softness, he closed his eyes.

Somehow it reminded me of the old days.

Was it when the last train was cut off and I stayed at Commelby with Missha? At that time, I wondered when I would be able to sleep in a bed like this every day. I sighed, saying that I had a long way to go… “…….

It’s been over a year since I came to this city.

It doesn’t matter if blood spurts all over your body anymore.

On the contrary, it feels more awkward every day without blood, and it is this period when even harming people, not monsters, is not particularly inspiring.

Before going to sleep, I asked myself.

Did I now live a more humane life than then?

***

The nap that lasted until the next morning ended with Misha’s visit.

“I heard you’re leaving later? You have to wake up!”

“Ah thank you.”

“A meal? Shall we take care of it?

” “No, we decided to meet and eat together.”

“Oh, did you?”

As I was preparing to go out after washing my body once more, I heard snoring from the first floor. Einar seems to

be still sleeping.

Oh, note . Lo Misha and I are sharing one room on the second floor.

Although there are two rooms on the first floor, too…

Dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

He snores more than I do.

The remaining room on the 1st floor One is just being used as a common storage.

“Then see you at the bar later.”

“Yes, have a nice day!”

I just said hello to Misha and left the house.

Then, not by carriage, I headed for Commelby, a 10-minute walk away.

After crossing the gate, Han After another 30 minutes of walking, we found a common platform where we were supposed to meet.

Raven was already there

. When did you get off the carriage?”

“…I think you just came early today?

” Come on, let’s go. I’m very hungry.”

After joining Raven, I started eating at the store I frequented, and then went to general stores and exchanges to dispose of the spoils I had earned from my previous explorations. This time, it

was saltier than usual

. Thanks to the 5th grade essence in the world.

“It will take a while until it is sold, but I will distribute it with my own money and receive it later.” ”

Then, it’s good for us ,

but are you okay?” Waiting until it sells and then gathering and sharing it is just cumbersome.”

That’s true, but we’ve been sticking with that method up until now. We

judged that it was the least likely to be a problem.

“…What is it? Those eyes?”

“Nothing.”

“I don’t think it’s anything?”

“You’re mistaken.”

I tried to hold back a smile and just kept looking forward as I walked.

Looking back, it seems like he’s changed a lot too

. But.

“It’s over sooner than expected. Let’s go to the tavern first.”

We finished selling the loot and headed to the tavern, the meeting place.

As expected, no one has arrived yet

. I didn’t have time to organize it last time.” After

ordering only drinks, Raven took out a piece of paper and began to write down the amount to be paid for today. It

took longer than expected.

Every time I ask, he says it’s no big deal.

“Thank you.”

“…. ..well, all of a sudden?”

“Isn’t he always doing all the troublesome things for our team?”

Did you give me money and say something like that?”

“I’ll like it. How much is it? Probably everyone will gladly agree to do so.

” Do you think he could get rich with that money?”

I think

he would be much more popular if it weren’t for his

gruff voice.

The time for settlement began like that.

“That’s 8.5 million stones per person.”

As much as Mila Roden spit out the mirror, I got a lump sum in my hand. I already paid off the debt two months ago, so all of this income is in my pocket. “Then,

now Let’s talk about other things.” After

the settlement was over, we made plans for the next exploration while having a drink and

food

.

Why?”

We hunted in Hellfire Gorge for half a year and entered the Underworld through mirrors a total of three times.

And we finished exploring the ‘Ashen Mountains’ and ‘Lava Lake’ that we hadn’t been able to capture before.

It wasn’t too difficult.

In addition to the ‘Orb of Fire’ that blocks fire damage, our combat power was much higher than when we first entered

it .

Since I was watching, Raven expressed concern about my decision,

but I can’t concede on this matter.

“I can’t stay on the 5th floor forever. Now it’s time to explore other places.”

We got everything we could get from Hellfire Canyon.

So, it’s time to head to the next chapter.

“So where are you going?”

“Frost Canyon.”

“Oh, Frost Canyon… ….”

Misha smiled at me.

Unlike Hellfire Gorge, she knew that this field could be an opportunity for her.

Well, I’m not wrong.

In Frost Gorge, the essence synergizes well with Misha, the ice attribute. Because there are many drops.

Actually, the one I am aiming for is one of them.

‘If I just eat that essence, the frost canyon is over.’

After that, I plan to clear the road to the 6th floor after receiving only the experience points from the remaining two fields of ‘The Great Magician’. Well, it

will take another year to get there

.

It was at the moment when I was thinking about that.

Shaaaaa!

Light radiated from the vine ring I was

wearing

. I didn’t even rub it like twisting a vine with saliva to stick it in.

Even if I did that, nothing would change.

“The conditions for activating the protection of the stars have been met.”

The second vine that blocked the dead flag related to the dragon slayer broke
